I definitely agree that this is encouraging news. It's funny how the recruiting world changes. Back in the summer, some were complaining about the lack of attention we get from top LBers. If we manage to sign Johnson in the middle and Gibson, Homan, Moeller and McCarthy on the outside, this has got to be the best LBer class in the nation, if not based on purely numbers.

Thaddeus Gibson

Euclid Senior

Position: Linebacker

Superstar stats: The state's third-best player as rated by Ohio High Magazine and All-Ohio first-teamer tallied 46 tackles, including 10 for losses, eight sacks and 24 quarterback hurries.

What you didn't know: "I've played Madden NFL video games since 1995. I'm possibly the best-ever player. My favorite team is Atlanta because of Michael Vick."

There is a poster on Bucknuts that is a PSU fan that is contending SCum is in the lead of Thad's recruitment. I've also asked around to a few people who go to Euclid and per conversations they've had with him it appears that SCum is in the lead as things stand right now. I'm not saying this won't change, but listen to the poster who first told you this, he knows he stuff. If Thad somehow qualifies, it will only be the first battle. There will be quite a battle with SCum for his services. Hopefully, he qualifies and plays for OSU. We will see.

It's established that Michigan has been recruiting him the "hardest" but I think that will change if it comes back that he qualifies. It doesn't surprise me that Michigan is in the lead as of right now, we're waiting.

I'm not trying to note he will go to SCum, but only report what I've been hearing as of right now. Everyone I've talked to believes Thaddeus is still real high on OSU.

FWIW, Bob Lichtenfels on scout thinks it's 50/50 right now for Thaddeus. IF (big if, get it?) Gibson were to get the grades/scores he needs, with his official to tOSU still on the horizon, I think we stand an excellent shot. Especially given his relationship with the coaches and former teammate Brandon Smith.

From the Vol site.........Gibson says that Ohio State and Tennessee are tied at the top of his list. He will visit Ohio State next weekend and then go to Penn State on 20 Jan. He plans on making a decision soon after his last visit.

this is an interesting development to say the least. this is either really good, or really bad IMO.

it's really good in that he has dropped ttun. its also could be perceived as good in that if he has the grades to get in, osu was his likely choice. he now drops the team that was considered to be the odds on favorite to get him if osu didnt take him.

it could be perceived as really bad in that tennessee will take anyone so long as they can play a little bit of football. so, perhaps his academics are bad enough to the point that ttun wont take him either.
